Commission Your Own
This piece is one of a kind — but the artisans who wove it can create a new rug in its spirit, hand-knotted to your exact dimensions.
Every hand-knotted rug begins with a single knot.
Skilled artisans tie each knot entirely by hand, one at a time, using techniques that
have been passed down through generations. Depending on the size and intricacy of
the design, a room-sized rug may contain millions of individually tied knots.
For a single weaver, completing one masterpiece can take one to two years—or even
longer—making every rug a remarkable work of art, craftsmanship, and patience.
